Konoha's Hextech Ninja

What's the point of this precaution?

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself, bowed to Mitokado Homura and the others, and took his leave.

After Yagami Yoruichi left, Mitokado Homura looked at Hatake Sakumo and said, "Your team's mission has failed because you didn't find out the reason for the disturbance in Sunagakure. However, we still need to continue investigating. I'll give you a few days to select new teammates and infiltrate the Land of Wind again to continue the investigation."

After a pause, Mitokado Homura reminded him, "You've already been discovered once, and the next infiltration will be even more dangerous. The team members... you need to choose carefully."

The last defeat resulted in two deaths and one serious injury, with only the strongest, Hatake Sakumo, managing to escape unscathed.

It was a bit of a stretch because Sakumo Hatake was also slightly injured.

However, his injuries were minor; a bandage would allow him to recover in a few days, and they wouldn't affect his future combat effectiveness.

Sakumo Hatake was heartbroken, but he forced himself to stay strong and said, "The reason for this defeat is my fault. I never expected Sasori of the Red Sand to be stronger than his parents..."

Sasori's parents died at his hands.

Sakumo Hatake killed his parents and defeated Sasori of the Red Sand, but he failed to protect his teammates from the enemy's attacks, resulting in the deaths of two and crippling of one of them.

This incident made Sakumo Hatake feel very guilty.

"Let bygones be bygones. Completing the mission as soon as possible is the most important thing." Mitokado Homura did not comfort Hatake Sakumo, but only emphasized, "We must find out Sunagakure's purpose as soon as possible. The village can no longer afford the cost of starting another war."

"Yes, I will select the right team members as soon as possible!" Sakumo Hatake immediately agreed.

……

the other side.

Yagami Yoruichi found Tsunade with the information.

Tsunade opened the scroll and read it, then looked puzzled.

"Teacher," Yagami Yoruichi asked, "What happened?"

"Sakumo encountered a formidable enemy. Although he defeated the enemy, he was unable to protect his teammates..." Tsunade briefly recounted the information recorded in the intelligence report.

Just as Yagami Yoichi had thought, Tsunade didn't care about any secrecy regulations at all.

If Yagami Yoruichi dares to ask, she dares to answer.

"Sasori of the Red Sand..." Yagami Yoruichi was somewhat surprised to hear the name of the enemy who killed Hatake Sakumo's teammate.

Sasori of the Red Sand, has he not left the Land of Wind yet?

Could it be that the recent unusual activity in Sunagakure is not due to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage?

Or is it that Sasori of the Red Sand is so audacious that after killing the Third Kazekage, he still dares to linger in the Land of Wind?

For a moment, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't tell which one was the truth.

Although she had information from the original work to refer to, Yagami Yoruichi still had too little information to make the most accurate judgment.

However, what exactly happened inside Sunagakure has little to do with Yoruichi Yagami.

If things don't change drastically, the Third Shinobi World War won't start for at least a few years.

At most, it's just a small-scale, localized conflict, far from reaching the level of 'war'.

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered, he asked, "Since we failed to achieve the objective of the reconnaissance mission this time, will we send someone to infiltrate the Land of Wind to conduct further reconnaissance?"

“Definitely.” Tsunade nodded and said, “If nothing unexpected happens, Sakumo will still lead the team, but the team members will have to be selected again. The last infiltration failed, so Sunagakure will definitely be more vigilant. The people we bring need to be stronger than last time to ensure the mission’s success.”

If Sasori had already killed the Third Kazekage and defected from Sunagakure, Sunagakure might not have known about Sakumo Hatake's invasion, so there would be no question of them being 'more vigilant'.

Yagami Yoruichi was pondering this.

There is a high probability that Sakumo Hatake's infiltration mission will involve a battle with the Sand Village ninja.

The simplest way to infiltrate and gather intelligence is to capture people for interrogation. After the interrogation, it's impossible to release them; they must be silenced.

Even without considering additional battles, just for the sake of accurate intelligence, capturing and interrogating more ninjas to compare information and prevent fabrication would require a considerable number of ninja "heads".

If I could participate, wouldn't the process of synthesizing the next piece of equipment be greatly accelerated?

As for the risks...

The biggest risk is being surrounded by the Sand Village ninja.

The worst-case scenario, in theory, is that the Third Kazekage is still alive and Sasori of the Red Sand has not yet defected.

Then they were surrounded and attacked by a group of powerful Sunagakure ninja, including the Third Kazekage, Sasori of the Red Sand, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the Scorching Release ninja Pakura.

If this were to actually happen, even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would have a real headache, and might accidentally die in Sunagakure.

However, after careful consideration, Yagami Yoruichi believed that this possibility was unlikely.

The Sand Village dispatched a large number of ninjas, who were roaming all over the Land of Wind, clearly searching for something.

Based on the clues in the original work, it is highly likely that the Third Kazekage has already been murdered.

If one were to infiltrate the Land of Wind at this time, it would be almost impossible to encounter a situation where one is besieged by multiple 'Kage-level' powerhouses.

If they only encounter one or two Kage-level powerhouses, with Sakumo Hatake bearing most of the pressure, and given that he himself is also close to Kage-level strength, even if they don't kill the enemy, they are at least very confident in breaking through.

The only problem is...

Yagami Yoruichi looked up at Tsunade and said, "Sensei, I want to join Sakumo-senpai's infiltration team."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Just as Yagami Yoruichi had predicted, Tsunade instantly flew into a rage upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, angrily retorting, "Do you know how dangerous it is to infiltrate the territory of other ninja villages?! Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, its strength is no weaker than Konoha! Even a Jonin died there, you brat, do you think you're stronger than a Jonin?!"

To say that Sunagakure can be compared to Konoha is a bit of a stretch; even Tsunade herself probably wouldn't believe it.

Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has always been the weakest.

Even during the Second Shinobi World War, Amegakure, under the leadership of the 'demigod' Hanzo, surpassed Sunagakure in both prestige and influence, and almost became the 'sixth great ninja village'.

Although Amegakure was defeated in the Second Shinobi World War and its strength declined significantly, Sunagakure was not much better off.

However, Tsunade's words were clearly intended to discourage Yoruichi Yagami, and the truthfulness of the content was not important.

No matter what, Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. People who don't know much about the ninja world wouldn't easily imagine that there could be such a huge gap in strength between the Five Great Ninja Villages.

If Yagami Yoruichi hadn't had some understanding of the power dynamics in the ninja world, he might have actually been fooled by Tsunade's words.

"Teacher, I'm quite strong now." Yagami Yoruichi looked at Tsunade seriously and said, "At least I won't hold Sakumo-senpai back."

If you can join this mission, the progress of crafting equipment will be greatly accelerated, speeding up your strength improvement.

Infiltrating the Land of Wind to gather secret information about Sunagakure may seem dangerous, but with Sakumo Hatake leading the team, the risks are well within an acceptable range.

If the adventure is successful, I can reach my 'complete form' in the shortest amount of time and stand at the top of the ninja world.

"No!" Tsunade roared, "I won't allow you to go!"

"If the teacher doesn't agree, I'll just go find Sakumo-senpai!" Yagami Yoruichi deliberately adopted a defiant stance, saying, "Kakashi can infiltrate the Land of Water, so why can't I infiltrate the Land of Wind?!"

Chapter 110 Chakra Creates Electrons? Electromagnetic Force?

This argument, of course, could not possibly yield any results.

No matter what Yoruichi Yagami said, Tsunade firmly disagreed with Yoruichi Yagami carrying out such a dangerous mission.

To put it bluntly, it's because they don't trust Yoruichi Yagami's abilities.

Yoruichi Yagami privately approached Sakumo Hatake and expressed her desire to join Sakumo Hatake's team.

But Sakumo Hatake wasn't stupid. If Tsunade didn't agree, how could he dare bring Yoruichi Yagami along? He immediately used the excuse of "needing Tsunade's permission" to decline, and then quickly selected new team members, left the base camp, and headed to the Land of Wind.

Left behind in the camp, Yagami Yoruichi could only rage in vain, yet dared not disobey the village rules and chase after Hatake Sakumo.

I can't be so willful with my current status.

Although I am already very strong, I haven't reached the point where I can't "eat beef" yet, so I can't be too reckless.

"All right."

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi's angry expression, Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Have you finished reading those books I gave you? If you've mastered them all, I'll teach you a new technique—my signature move!"

This coaxing tone only fueled Yagami Yoruichi's anger.

But the allure of the new ninjutsu still made Yagami Yoruichi obediently give in: "Teacher, I have read all those books and mastered them."

Tsunade randomly checked a few questions to confirm that Yoruichi Yagami had mastered the knowledge in the books, then nodded and said, "Since you have already mastered it, you have the foundation to learn this technique. However, this technique is very difficult, so you should be mentally prepared."

As she spoke, Tsunade took out a scroll and handed it to Yagami Yoruichi.

Yagami Yoruichi opened the scroll and was surprised to see the names of the ninjutsu recorded on it.

"Disorderly Charge?"

Yagami Yoruichi's eyes widened. He had thought that Tsunade intended to teach him superhuman strength.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the special medical ninjutsu, 'Chaos Rush'.

Although it's called medical ninjutsu, it's actually used entirely in combat. Its effect is to disrupt the enemy's nerve signal transmission, causing the enemy to lose control of their body.

For example, after being hit by the chaotic charge, the enemy originally wanted to throw a punch, but instead raised his leg.

I tried to turn my head to the left, but ended up slapping myself on the forehead.

And so on.

If a ninja has not undergone special training in this area, once hit by the Chaotic Body Strike, it will be difficult for them to adapt in a short period of time, thus losing control of their body and becoming completely vulnerable to attack.

Of course, powerful and experienced ninjas can usually find the technique to regain control of their bodies and adapt quickly after being hit by the Chaotic Body Strike.

In the original work, Kabuto Yakushi was hit by Tsunade's Chaotic Body Surge, but he only spent a very short time readjusting to it, and it did not affect his subsequent battles at all.

In a way, this ninjutsu is a great skill for crushing weaker opponents.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to learn?" Tsunade saw Yagami Yoruichi's expression and thought that Yagami Yoruichi was not satisfied with this ninjutsu.

"I thought the teacher was going to teach me superhuman strength," Yagami Yoruichi said, scratching his head. "But this ninjutsu is indeed very interesting."

The Chaotic Body Rush involves the microscopic realm, requiring precise manipulation of 'electrons' to control chakra, which is extremely difficult.

In some ways, this ninjutsu involves a more detailed and nuanced microscopic realm than the signature ninjutsu of the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, known as the "Dust Release" bloodline limit technique.

If we can learn it and improve upon it, we might be able to develop even more powerful ninjutsu.

Electrons can do much more than just disrupt nerve signals in the human body!

However, Yagami Yoichi is not very proficient in physics, and finding the best direction for improvement will not be something that can be done in a short time.
